Nestled just outside the charming fishing village of Castara on Tobago’s northern coast, Castara Waterfall is a serene, lesser-known natural attraction with roots in the island’s rich ecological and cultural heritage. The area surrounding the waterfall was historically traversed by indigenous peoples and early settlers who relied on the forest’s fresh spring water and diverse vegetation.

Today, Castara Waterfall is embraced by locals and visitors alike for its refreshing plunge pool, tranquil ambience, and easy 15–20 minute trail through the forest. The hike to the falls is lined with towering bamboo, tropical trees, and the sounds of Tobago’s native birdlife, a true immersion into nature.

Unlike some of Tobago’s more commercialised spots, Castara Waterfall remains unspoiled, offering a raw, authentic connection to the island’s natural beauty. It’s a favourite among nature lovers, eco-tourists, and photographers seeking a peaceful retreat.

Whether you’re looking for a cool dip, a quiet forest hike, or a scenic stop on a cultural tour of Tobago’s coast, Castara Waterfall is a hidden treasure worth the journey.
